The US aviation giant Boeing is starting a second attempt for an unmanned test flight of its “Starliner” capsule to the International Space Station (ISS).

The spaceship is scheduled to launch today with an Atlas V rocket from the Cape Canaveral spaceport in Florida. The “Starliner” is scheduled to dock at the ISS 24 hours later. The weather could get in the way of the start, as reported by orf.at. 

With the unmanned test flight, Boeing wants to get its space program back on track after several setbacks. A first unmanned test flight of the "Starliner" capsule failed in 2019 due to software problems. The spaceship could not approach the ISS at that time and returned to Earth prematurely.
